Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2015 Physical Oceanography (Funding Opportunity Number NNH15ZDA001N) is part of NASA's annual omnibus solicitation called Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES). Through this call, NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) seeks proposals for both basic and applied research that strengthens NASA space and Earth science missions, with Physical Oceanography being one of the program elements included under the broader ROSES umbrella. The opportunity is designed to fund science and technology work that helps NASA interpret, improve, or extend the value of its observations and missions, including work tied to ocean dynamics and related Earth system processes.
The scope of work is intentionally broad and covers many types of research activities that can support NASA science goals. This includes theory, numerical modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; the design and use of Earth observations and field campaigns that help validate or complement NASA measurements; and development of integrated Earth system models. It also includes more mission-enabling efforts such as developing new experiment techniques for future missions, advancing technologies relevant to SMD objectives, and creating concepts for future space missions. Beyond pure research, the solicitation also welcomes projects focused on turning Earth science research outputs into practical applications, such as developing systems or information tools that apply NASA Earth science data to societal needs. While ROSES spans both space and Earth sciences broadly, this particular listing emphasizes the Physical Oceanography element within the ROSES 2015 structure, meaning proposers would align their work with the goals and instructions in the relevant appendix section for that specific program element.
Award sizes vary widely depending on the nature of the proposed work. Smaller efforts, such as focused data analysis projects, may be funded at under $100,000 per year, while larger, more complex projects, such as those involving the development of science experiment hardware, can exceed $1 million per year. NASA notes that the total funds available within each program element can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which in practice means the program may fund anywhere from only a few projects to several dozen, depending on merit, alignment with objectives, and the volume and quality of submissions.
NASA anticipates making awards using multiple funding instruments, chosen based on the applicant organization and the needs of the work. Possible mechanisms include grants and cooperative agreements, as well as contracts and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The typical period of performance is four years, though some program elements may specify different durations, with an overall maximum of five years. Cost sharing or matching is not required for this opportunity.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type: domestic and foreign organizations, government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit institutions, and other eligible applicants may submit, and there is no stated limit on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA generally funds U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is governed by NASA's policy of "no exchange of funds," meaning international partners typically participate without receiving NASA funds. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including Appendix B and relevant sections) for specific rules, particularly in situations involving U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
All proposals must be submitted electronically, and submission must be completed by an authorized organizational representative. Applicants can submit through NASA's NSPIRES system or via Grants.gov, but registration in NSPIRES is required for all proposing organizations and for all investigators and participants (including co-investigators), regardless of which submission portal is used. Organizations submitting through Grants.gov must be registered in both Grants.gov and NSPIRES. NASA strongly encourages prospective applicants to begin registration and system familiarization early to avoid last-minute issues.
Key timing details for this listing show it was posted on March 2, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 30, 2015, and an archive date of July 30, 2015. Because ROSES is an umbrella solicitation with multiple program elements, applicants are expected to rely on the appendices and the tables in the ROSES NRA (Tables 2 and 3) for the specific program element names, due dates, and links, since individual elements can have different deadlines and may be amended over time. NASA also advised researchers to monitor NSPIRES for amendments or additional calls through February 2016, when the next ROSES release was planned. For help, FAQs were provided on NASA's ROSES website, and general policy or procedure questions could be directed to the ROSES contact at NASA SMD (Max Bernstein, sara@nasa.gov), while program-element-specific questions would go to the program officers listed in the appendices.
